9.1Critical

CVE-2026-16947

The Total processing card payments for WooCommerce WordPress plugin through 7.3 does not validate a user-supplied path before using it to build a server-side verification request, and does not verify the authenticity of the response, allowing unauthenticated attackers to redirect that request to an arbitrary host (disclosing the merchant's payment-gateway credentials) and to forge a success response that marks arbitrary WooCommerce orders as paid.

What this means for your business

  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
  • FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.2% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 15% of all known flaws.

What to do

  1. 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
